Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, crew. Let’s call it like it is. This forecast is a tough one. We’re staring down a long, dry spell with nothing worth paddling out for. The only spot on the map is Karramarro, and it’s an inconsistent, advanced point break that needs a perfect NW swell. We aren’t getting that. The water is way warmer than usual for this time of year, about 4° above normal, but that’s the only thing that’s above average.
From now until the end of the 16-day window, there are no good surf options. The wave energy is weak, with all the combined energy numbers in the double digits. For the first week, we’re looking at tiny 2ft to 2ft NW swell with periods around 8-9 seconds, and it’s all poor. There are a few glassy or clean windows, but the waves are too small to do anything with.
On the 13th of July, we get a little bump to 3ft, but the wind is onshore and it’s still poor. By the 21st of July, there’s a late pulse of 4ft swell from the NNW, but the period is only 6 seconds. The wind is fresh and cross-off, so it’s clean, but that short period will make for weak, gutless waves. For a spot that’s inconsistent and rarely breaks, this is a pretty normal, empty run. Don’t bother with the paddle. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a surfing one.

Information about the Karramarro Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Karramarro provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Karramarro can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Karramarro surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Karramarro) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Karramarro may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Karramarro is 3 km (2 miles) from Zarautz. If you plan a holiday in Pais Vasco, look for hotels and other accommodation in Zarautz. Zarautz has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
